The plaza will bring a nice area for residents to use for events and gatherings

The current City Hall, built in 1980, will still be used for expansion for the police force.

Water Conservation-

Allowing tall fescue grasses to grow in the "out of play" areas on our golf courses has helped the area save as much as 88.5 million gallons of water in 2021 and an additional 25 million gallons in the past year.

Quality of Life-

New Parks are in the works too! Fossil Falls Community Park, know by locals as the "Skim Board Park," should complete construction in June 2023. Direct access to the trail system and is near the Virgin River.

Broken Mesa Park, in Desert Canyon, officials are hoping opens in late April 2023 in time for their open house.
